Let’s Talk Hip Lighting

See below for descriptions.

#1 – Via:  Better Living Through Design.  The Modo Chandelier by Jason Miller.  This is by far the most expensive light in this collection.  At $8400, this one won’t likely find its way into my house any time soon.  The price, however, doesn’t discount the fact that it is very cool.  If you’ve got the bankroll, you can get yours here.

#2 – Via:  Freshome.  This Ociu Light from Zava is a monster, at nearly 73 inches in diameter!  Visit Zava’s website to find a distributor near you.

#3 – Via:  Freshome.  Okay … so maybe this one isn’t really all that hip.  However, it is definitely funny!  Your friends will surely crack up when the have to turn this lamp on using, you guessed it, his little appendage.  Unfortunately, it appears that the site that originally sold these is gone.  If anyone knows were they can now be purchased, we’d love for you to post a comment letting us know!

#4 – Via:  Young House Love.  If you liked #1, but hated the price tag, perhaps this is a better alternative.  It still has the chic look, at a fraction of the cost.  You can get one here, for £225.  (If you’re in the US, you might be able to utilize my good friend Google, to turn up a domestic distributor of this light.)

#5 – Via:  Remodelista.  Mercury Honeycomb Pendant from Peddlers.

One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s – Chandelier?!?!

Chandelier made from exploded party poppers

Stuart Haygarth, a London lighting designer, proves that trash can be more than just treasure!  It can also be fantastic lighting!

The above pictured chandelier is made from 1000 exploded party poppers, that were collected after the millennium celebrations in London.

His website doesn’t offer pricing information.  Perhaps it’s one of those “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it deals.”  However, it definitely qualifies as “hip” in my book!
